I've just started to pack: there's the sunscreen, the mosquito repellent (though my husband Bruce swears there are few mosquitos except at sunset), warm jacket, rain gear, gloves, etc etc. I've really no idea of what I'm getting into but here goes anyway. Bruce has raved for years about the glorious wildlife, the scenery, the Northern Lights, the great fishing, and so on. So I guess I'm in.

Dick and Ross claim that they're happy I'm coming along. I am crossing my fingers, and just to be safe, I'm packing some good books and my watercolors....
